'Interrogations for solo Serge' is part of the 'Marinos Koutsomichalis è stato eliminato' project, pivoting on the raw output of the EMS' (the Swedish national centre for electronic music and sound art) Serge modular synthesizer. Employing a series of non-compositional stratagems, the artist attempted to 'eliminate' himself so that the machine’s foundational material attributes may be somehow accelerated and foregrounded.

All tracks are monophonic; sometimes they are performed by both speakers, some others by one only. Loudspeakers could be positioned in any arbitrary fashion; listeners are advised to experiment with unusual configurations. Track #10 (bonus track) should be reproduced by a solo subwoofer.

Recorded by Marinos Koutsomichalis at EMS Stockholm SE, April/May 2012.

Edited in various cities in Crete GR. May-July 2012.
